Service Catalog
2011-2012

Introduction
UMass Dartmouth offers an extensive array of computing and information technology support services for
students, faculty, and staff. Computing and Information Technology Services (CITS) is under the
administration of Donna Ritenour Massano, Chief Information Officer and Associate Vice Chancellor for
Computing and Information Technology Services in the Division of Administration and Finance.
In the fast-paced world of information technology (IT), it is imperative that IT be organized to respond to
the rapid changes in technology. CITS is organized around a flexible team structure that ensures the ability
to adapt to diverse and evolving campus IT needs.
The IT Service Center team supports the “help desk” needs and concerns of faculty, staff and students. Two
CITS teams—Information Systems Integration and Project Support and Change— support development
while other teams support infrastructure: Network and Telecommunications, Access Management, and
Enterprise Systems Administration. In support of teaching and learning, Instructional Development assists
faculty with technology in the classroom and online course development, while the new Learning Spaces
Operations team offers technology support for learning spaces.
CITS also has four cross-functional teams to address critical and ongoing IT issues: communications to our
customers, the security of our systems, multi-media technical support, and overall service quality. These
“horizontal” teams—Communications, Enterprise Security, Quality Service and the Stream team—have
representation from across CITS.
This Service Catalog for academic year 2011-2012 serves as a guide to the CITS teams and the services
they provide. For more information, please be sure to visit the CITS web site at www.umassd.edu/cits.
